Worship Opportunities

Worship, prayer, meditation and music are offered regularly on campus as opportunities to de-stress, find community and grow in faith.

The Lois Perkins Chapel is open 7am to midnight during the school semester for prayer and meditation. The adjacent Chapel Lounge and Garden are designed for spiritual reflection and small group discussion.

University Chapel Services for students, faculty and staff are held each Thursday morning from 11:30am - 12:00 noon during the regular semester.

These services, led by the university chaplain, student assistants and musicians, and the chapel organist provide sacred space to consider and grow in faith.

Tuesday Night Worship is held each Tuesday evening from 9pm - 10pm during the semester. These are times of informal worship with the leadership of a contemporary Christian band. They create space for students to catch up with themselves and God in fellowship with others.

Catholic Mass is celebrated regularly in the Chapel through the leadership of the Catholic Student Association and St. Helen Catholic Church. Times are announced the week before Mass is to be held.

Student organizations and University departments may reserve the Chapel for gatherings directly through the University Relations website or by call the Office of Spiritual and Religious Life at ext. 1527.
